So I received a preview of the coil valley cover badge....

The engraving will begin shortly to also include a custom badge for where it says "Twin Turbo" however... won't disclose what it says as it is a shit stir to previous work done on the car.

MNP 33GTR for the win!

Cheers bud,

I may be ordering my Custom Grind cams this week, receiving some parts for the VCT and a couple other bits.

Awesome, im very interested to hear how this vct goes

It's getting a tune without VCT first, in most likely in a couple months or after when I go to the U.S. I will do the VCT considering it would only take a couple days to do if that.

The main part would be in the tuning I assume.

I know the engine is in, box is in, just needs the radiator, valve springs(getting done when its in the car) and then once I have the car back and I am going to get a Catch can set up made.

Where did you go to get this made if you don't mind me asking? Mate wants a Nismo item but there doesn't seem to be any so this could be an idea.

I got it made by Aaron Dryden, You can also order design's through Dryden Motorsports.

Aaron does drafting for Dryden Motorsports now, he had to do mine because it was more involved design wise then they usually are.

Just good Dryden Motorsports and they'll come up.

On another note.

So, not much to do with the GTR has come about yet... I think they are doing run in now hahaha so on my weekend I have set a couple goals.

Number 1 goal was to repair the bike I crashed a couple months back(just need to connect lines now)

Number 2 goal was to clean my carport(In progress, I'm on break :P )

Number 3 goal was to get my 1972 Toyota Corona running and washed... Goal completed.

The main reason I wanted to get this car out and washed.

The car belonged to my Late Pop, He was given it by my Great Aunt when they had to go into a nursing home.

When I killed the ECU in the car my Pop told me I can have the car if I looked after it, about a week later he passed.

The car holds ALOT of sentimental value to me obviously.

I have also just bought his motorbike off my Grandmother, she was going to sell it after I repaired it however I decided I would like to own it so I bought it.

thats good, i like that!! things with sedimental value, are worth alot more than what money can buy....

Hey did you end up finding out what goodies the engine had? I remember you mentioning in your for sale thread (at the time) that you thought it had stage 2 cams.

Well it was a standard engine not the stroker as it was in the import papers.

It DOES have cams unlike what I was told by a "big" shop... unknown duration tho, It's certainly equal to poncam's tho.

The piston had "gas" porting tho so that was different.

i feel tease......ed. where's the sound clip !!!

It's only just had it's first start up today... however I bought a GoPro yesterday... by... "accident" and yes it will get a sound clip soon ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

    • Done about 5k Km on the PS5's now, excellent street tyres, great in the dry, and the wet, seem to be wearing very well, I haven't measured tread depth, but it looks like minimal wear, I also had a different alignment done about 1500km ago,  From looking at the tread wear, which is really only minimal, the alignment changes were based off how the tread looked, and how it felt throwing it around, the changes have shown great results 215/45 17 at 32 psi Front Caster: 5.5° Camber: -1.5° Toe: 0.0mm Rear Camber: -1.0° Total Toe-in: 1.5mm I actually prefer PS5's now over the RS4's, as the PS5's are much better in the wet IMO, and as the MX5 gets driven in all weather conditions doing daily duties, hwy trips, and blasts in the mountains, wet weather grip is high on my priority list
    • To update this thread. I got sent a replacement Attesa pro unit and all is now working as expected. Cheers
    • FD is so sexy she can pull off tri-spokes
    • Indeed they do. Best my diff builder could tell is it's a combination of the different cut/angle and it would seem they lap them in well on accell but less so on decel. He had to use a slightly different pattern to the lap to get the best result noise wise. Also as the rear diff runs in, the whine is getting less.        Overall they seem like a good thing so far. He's done a few neat crown/pinion before but all for race cars with loud everything, in most cases the exhaust is louder, so I am the first to notice.... and be somewhat of a pain   
    • What do you mean by "test"? It sounds like you're just switching things on and off that you already know don't work. Get the wiring diagram and a multimeter and start looking for power where there is supposed to be power and earth where there is supposed to be earth. Look for continuity across switches that are otherwise unresponsive, etc etc.
